it ended right before the good part with the movies! seeing this series come to complete fruition would make my childhood dreams come true

[@drjwww]

Given Walker's talking about Toby Stephens and then about Harry Potter, I'm surprised Josh didn't point out to Walker that Toby Stephens is the son of the great Maggie Smith, aka Professor McGonagall. I suspect that would've blown Walker's mind.

@@puterboy2I meant imo the looks really doesn’t matter, as long as they portray the characters good.

[@wendellpeterson6755]

​@@Crystalroses197I disagree with you. Appearance does matter, we grew up reading descriptions and seeing Percy on the cover of books or in official portraits with black hair, it's a predominant trait of his. Appearance is not the most important thing in the character, but saying that it doesn't matter is too much.

[@ivystudios6127]

Ur right it is rare And he FLOPPED…yet again. Was really looking forward to this being good even after seeing the casting. But The show is pretty bad honestly think I only “like” some of it cause I’m such huge fan of the OG books and seeing anything live action is kind of exiting…same reaction I had with the movies. Was really hoping he’d create something special and that really felt like the original book series but instead he’s trying to do way too much. Pretty much making his own version of mistakes that were made for the movies and ruining a lot of what he’s created and fans love. Acting is cringe, casting is absolute shiet, and the story/pacing is just horrible. But hey I guess it’s true what they say about live actions they all pretty much suck lol 😂 just my opinion😭😭

@@victoriat7961 I know but I'm saying, that's not how they should do it. Because these kids will be too old if they wait too long. Take a leap of faith and just film the seasons year after year, so they can more or less match the ages in the books. Otherwise it'll end up like stranger things.

@@will3rr I see your point but Disney can’t just take a leap of faith, especially not with how their other movies are doing. They can’t afford to have their tv shows or movies flop anymore. As soon as people lose interest they won’t care and they’ll cancel the show. I have faith that the first season will be successful enough to get us another one tho. Timing wise there’s just nothing that can be done, and Rick can work on the script all he likes but without the official green light production can’t move forward.
